I receive an email from Charles Bradley - CEO of Bradley's Computer Enterprise from Canada. His phone number is 905 598 0905. In his email, he said he needs an assistant urgently. He will be in downtown in next 2 weeks. He will send a check to you. He is from the main company. However, there is no company's address, phone number or website. He wants you to deduct an amount of money for yourself, then send the balance to a travel agent so that this agent will book a hotel and air ticket for him. He said that he travels a lot, and you will be a boss in an office. His assistant does not want to relocate. This is a scammer. Whoever gets this email and receive a check, you have to call the bank first. Go to the police department to report. The scam is that he is stupid.
This is his email:
